Additional Employee Information

Overall, in order to participate in the Fee Waiver Program, employees must have an active appointment that is eligible for Fee Waiver. If you separate from CSU before the beginning of the semester, you will no longer be eligible for the benefit. The Fee Waiver will be removed and your bill will be adjusted accordingly. You can complete your course(s) by paying the fees due or drop the course(s).

Normal academic standards must be maintained by the employee in order to continue participating in the fee waiver program.

Note: Please check applicable CBAs for provisions concerning the appointment of part-time, permanent employees. Also note that Executive Order 712 establishes the requirement that courses taken by employees participating in the Fee Waiver Program must either be job-related or part of an approved Career Development Plan. Refer to the Executive Order as well as to the individual CBAs for more information on this requirement.
